Ordered after seeing your truck.
Any tips on cutting the pipes to fit? I plan on practicing before i grind away on the cage.

I'm looking at one too. Probaly just the loop behind the front seats with the family loop in the rear. Keep us posted on the install after you get it. I would like to see how folks tie the cage to the frame. These details always seems to get left out.

I bought a pipe notching kit from Harbor Freight... Considering I was only going to use this tool for this project I wasn't worried about longevity of the kit. It worked just fine. I always cut long, then made a second cut to length. Never want to cut too short :-). I did use a die grinder to shape the joints as close as possible.
All it takes is a lot of time and a lot of patience. It does help to have a second person holding the tube in position to get proper length.

Here are some pics on how I tied the loops behind each row of seats.
First pic is how high tide the rear hoop to the frame.
Second pic (sorta hard to see)is the tie point for center hoop behind the passenger and driver seat.
3rd and 4th pics just show how tied them to the frame without the body on.

What are the bars coming from the side of your bed on the floor in your build pics?

The plates on the bottom side of the bed are where the roll bar on the top side of the bed bolt to. Those plates are then connected to tubes which are bolted to the frame. This connects the roll cage to the frame and makes it a whole lot more rigid and safe if God forbid there was a roll over.

The tubing is not pre notched??

No the kits are not prenotched due to the fact that each truck is just a little bit different dimensionally. So to get good fitting joints you want to cut specifically for your application.
